This is my new Mini LEGO diesel engine with a 3-speed motorized transmission, in this slightly long video I have the In-line 6 cylinder turbo diesel, connected to the transmission (which i show up close) then connected to 4 large technic motorcycle tires to act as a load on the engine.

Powered by my a train regulator which powers a RC Technic motor
and battery operated motor geared down to change the gears.

enjoy and comment

  • Awesome! Any tips for recreating diesel engine and turbocharger noise in smaller MOCs? And by smaller I mean something like the size of the 8258 Crane Truck.

  • @PhantomStrain I dont know if the 8258 has a technic engine or not, but it should be able to fit a motor and gear box in there. The transmission and motor is what makes my engine sound like it has a turbo.

  • @legomaniacman Oh I see, so the tube is just for show. I was just wondering what specifically it is that's creating that high-pitch turbo sound at high RPM. I guess I'll have to build your engine myself and try to figure it out. Do you have any pictures posted of it on Brickshelf or something similar that I can use for a more detailed reference than this video? Thanks and keep up the great work.

  • @PhantomStrain The motor and the gears whining. Nah only here right now. Thanks

  • How in the world did you build this? Does the turbo really spin?

  • @bigdaddymatty17  With LEGO :P and no the turbo is just a tube wrapped around an axle

see all
